Grammar is my nightmare–I’m always confused by some concepts and details, but in the ACADEMIC ENGLISH class I felt that I made progress every day! The teacher’s fast-tempo speech, well-prepared handouts, and way of getting us to immediately use what we learned was really helpful!

My VOLUNTEERING activities at PELA were great English practice! Everyone at Buckman Elementary School was friendly and they liked to talk about anything. I realized that I really like taking care of children.

The strengths of PELA are many. All the time the teachers in PELA are trying to help us to improve our English. If they heard us saying something wrong they correct us. Every day we are learning something new. It is not easy to learn a new language, but if you want and you have people around you, helping you, you can do it!
